For every coach that thinks we got it wrong there's another that thinks we got it right.

No. I cant put anything he does into a holding bucket. He gets blown off the LOS and doesn't do anything to change the direction of the defender. Defender is trying to go straight back, that's where he goes.

Shouldnt the R be intially positioned on the End Line, too?

Definitely No foul.

When officiating holding, first determine who has better feet.  We don't really care where/how he is "grabbed".   We call holding, not grabbing.  In this play, the defender takes himself out of the play by going inside.  A68 just walls him off.  There is no material restriction whatsoever on the B player.  B player did not "beat the feet" of A68.  A68 just took him where he wants to go.

This official probably saw "hands outside" and called holding.

No foul for OH. Offensive lineman kept good position and was never beat.

No foul.  You won't make a long career calling those, especially in the end zone.

R should be on the end line at the snap.  Looks like a TASO game and I'm not sure about mechanics for the LOS guys in those games but my guess is someone should be taking a step to the goal line at the snap also.

This is important.

I agree here - no foul. R should have been on End line as well and LJ should have backed straight out on GL sooner.

Nothing. Assuming there is contact that would necessitate a hold (if at the point of attack, etc.), the defender makes an inside move and the runner is past him. I'll give a slightly-behind-the-runner defender the benefit of the doubt on a shirt or foot grab by an offensive player but not a straight up block like this.

#68 seemed to maintain his crack to the back.... no foul.
